RESARCH IN MATHEMATICS
EDUCATION- NEED AND IMPORTANCE
INTRODUCTION
an account of activities and events concerned with the development of disciplined inquiry in
mathematics education as a flourishing academic enterprise is called research in mathematics
education. Al though mathematics has been taught and learned for millennia, until the past century or
so have the nature and quality of teaching and learning mathematics been studied in any a serious
manner .clay tablets from ancient Babylonia(c 1900 BC to 1600),for example, show that students in
the scribal school were expected to solve problems involving quadratic polynomials, but no available
evidence indicates how much drill and practice either they received or their instructors thought they
needed.
Mathematics research is the long-tem,open-endend expioration of a set of related mathematics
questions whose answer connect to and build upon each other.
Students develop questions, approaches, and results, that are ,at least for them,
original products.
Students use the same general methods used by research mathematics. they work through cycles of
Research provided students with and understanding of what it means to do mathematics and
Doing research is challenging and can be frustrating students commitments to persistence and
to learned for frustration grow as they are supported, encouraged ,and given repeated
opportunity to think about and succeed with problems over days and weeks.
Students learn to listing between different levels of evidence and to be skeptical in the face of
anecdotal evidence. The habit of looking for critical thinkers in all aspects of life.
Mathematics research is important because incredibly useful concept like cryptography and
calculus and image signal processing have and continue to come from mathematics and are
better understand the nature of mathematical thinking , teaching and learning :and second to use such
knowledge in practices for learning and teaching mathematics . it is generally acknowledged that
mathematics education has a social ,and political dimension comprises also other educational sciences
and disciplines as sociology , psychology , anthropology, linguistics , philosophy and more recently
also neuroscience.
Over the last decades there have been many initiatives to reform mathematics
education. One direction has been to shift form learning abstract concepts and procedures to engaging
students with more concede and problem solving activities. This shift has been attended with a
change , more fundamenta1lly,from the passive absorption of decontentualised mathematical
knowledge towards an active construction of knowledge by learners based on the modeling of reality
. the ultimate goal of student learning is claimed to be the apparent decline of interest in mathematics
at compulsory and pre-18 school level and the level of performance of students leaving high school.
